As you know, I've agreed to play on the faculty recital at the end of the month with the rest of the piano faculty. Yay. Speaking of, I should practice...but I digress. So, there's one thing I have to do professionally that I haven't done in ages. Joy.
As of Saturday, I also will be co-presenting at the state music teachers conference in June. Huh what?!? Well, as the story unfolded, the entire committee sat in silence while not looking at the president when she announced we had a time slot at the conference and who would like to present? Finally, the one lady that had presented last year said she could do a reprise of what she did then, but it wouldn't be anything fancy or new. Me, with my big mouth, asked "well, what if you do your information session for half the time, and someone else did a presentation on a related topic for the rest of the time?" And she lit up and said "oh, that'd be great if you did that!" And, of course, everyone else there quickly agreed. Cornered. Damn. Oh well, it could be fun. I've already been talking to the other lady and we've got a few ideas we're kicking around. I'm going to email the committee again and see if anyone has other ideas; if not, we're going to go with one of the two we've come up with.
The last time I presented to a large group at a meeting/conference setting was 2004. This will be rough getting back to the point I feel comfortable enough on any topic...
So, if you're in Phoenix on June 1st, come see us! I'll post more information later.
